product Details

Whyte and Mackay Millennium Blend 25 Year Old

James Whyte and Charles Mackay started their company in 1882, quickly launching their Whyte & Mackay special blend. Their sales were predominantly in the export market until after the second world war, when they renewed their focus domestically. The firm merged with the Mackenzie Brothers in 1960, giving them their first distillery, Dalmore. They soon added Tamnavulin, Fettercairn and the Invergordon grain distillery to their portfolio, all of which have been key contributors to their blends over the years. Whyte & Mackay have always been forward thinking in their approach, using sherry finishing for their proprietary blend, and introducing the first 40 fl oz bottle for the on-trade in 1963 (now an industry standard). Today the brand is synonymous with its master blender, Richard Paterson, and remains one of the most popular Scotch brands in the world.

This is a 25 year old blend given to employees of Whyte & Mackay to mark the new millennium in 1999.

The front label states: "A unique and rare 25 year old blend using only the finest single malt & grain whiskies distilled throughout the 20th century" therefore we may assume that this blend contains some very old whiskies, the youngest of which having been aged for 25 years.
